ametzeala Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Hello!I recently got interested in Flaming Cliffs 3,mainly the Sukhoi 27 module.It is quite difficult but I really like the plane. So,I saw this video : I found it really cool the way he keeps the enemy plane pinned down with a constant stream of missiles.I tried replicating this by going in the mission editor and placing an enemy f-15 on high skill level at 180 km away coming my way.So as soon as the battle starts I climb fast so that I have atleast a 2000 meters altitude advantage on him.As soon as he is in range I pop my first missile, slow down,place him 60 degrees on my left or right,count 15 seconds,turn in,shoot a second,place him on a 60 degree angle again and so on,just like demonstrated in the video. PROBLEM: What ends up happening is that I shoot 3 or 4 missiles and the enemy f-15 simply dives and pops chaff and dodges every single one of them.Then he points his nose up and spams me with amraams.I try to dodge them like in the video,waiting just before the last final signal stength bar on the rwr,and I am succesful with the first 2 of them.The thing is he spams me with like 4 of them,and eventually one of them gets me. What am I doing wrong?Please help! Thank you very much!
*Rage* Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 I would say shooting at max range is inefficient as they will lose energy fast. I wouldnt bother firing at greater than 35km. The trouble is the ER tracking is godawful with chaff and ground clutter currently so with an altitude, speed and range advantage you should have the upper hand and the bandit should not want to close as much as he does. Doing so should be suicidal but currently in game it is not. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 64th "Scorpions" Aggressor Squadron Discord: 64th Aggressor Squadron TS: 195.201.110.22
ShuRugal Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 a large part of the problem is that you are employing this tactic against the AI. The AI has perfect technique in evading missiles: if the PK of your shot is less than 1, the AI will evade it. Use this tactic against players (correctly) and you'll get a kill more often than not.
ametzeala Posted August 8, 2015 Author Posted August 8, 2015 Thanks to both of you for the replies!I will put this tactic in action on the servers ASAP! :D
